Beautiful condition, i played the back 9(21/11/22011) during the courses afternoon special. Costing all of $14, it was great value. Greens were in superb condintion, seems like everyone was in the "repair pitch marks on greens" mood. Fairways seemed perfect although i almost preferred hitting out of the rough. Take the chance to play this course before they move, it’s well worth the $14 in the afternoon.

Very nice course, well kept and presented. I’ve never seen so many staff attending a course. The greens were rocket fast, the rough and fairways great quality.
Just watch out for the $100 in tolls as you drive back to Sydney!

Played at Ashlar for the first time 3 days ago, definitely worth the money, a great course with challenging holes and well maintenanced. The greens, fairways and tees are all in emaculate shape, greens are true and fairways are beautiful, nice and lush. The course is interesting, none of the holes are the same and are all a challenge to golfers of all abilities. The 16th and 17th are two of the toughest Par 4’s, at 420m and 392m respectievly. There are enough bunkers and hazards to kepp you honest, hitting the fairway is vital as trees line many fairways. Ashlar Golf Club is definitely worth a try for any golfer looking to play at a well-maintained, challenging and fun course.

PROS

  • Great maintenance
  • Challenging holes
  • Well stocked Pro Shop

Cons

  • Poor practice putting greens

The strong par 4’s are a strength of this course, most particularly the 16th and 17th. This Kikuyu course is long and always well kept. The 9th/18th holes are challenging par 3’s, the 18th about 190m into a southerly and the 9th about 175m going east. Each are evelvated greens that are a skill to hit and stay on. This course is quite flat but always plays long and tough due to the lack of roll. The 8th green is one of the biggest on the course. The 10th is a great dogleg/risk and reward par 5. This is one of my favorite holes on the course. Ashlar is quite underated but is a tough Kikuyu track.

PROS

  • Plays long, with some great par 4's and tough finishing par 3's to both nines

Cons

  • A little flat and greens can lose a bit of growth in the hot summer months

Played there today, all i can say is nice course, fairways in great condition, only downfall was the greens had just been cored, really enjoyed the day and will definetley be back, nice nice course, the back 9 well i should of played smarter it will tear ur score apart if u dont, the front 9 was just over par and was thinking this will be a good scoring day, if you havent played this course dont hesitate put it on your list,found the chap in the pro shop to green keepers very friendly, so give it a go they will see me again…..

Course is in good condition, greens are quick but generally fair and uniformly paced. Not overly long but smart shot selection required quite regularly.

8. Dulberf | Rated | 13 May 2009 | Add A Review

This is a generally good course. A lot of dog legs means you dont always need your driver, which is good because you actually need to think about your shots.

The low cost of this course is both good and bad, too often you will be in an unraked bunker or have a diot in your path because the social players just don’t seem to care.

I’m a relatively new member of Ashlar and thought an update to the comments below was in order. Both greens and fairways are currently in excellent condition and as others have said, it’s a good test of your golf. For the quality group 1 course that it is, joining is pretty reasonable at the moment. $1200 pro rata with no joining fee for full 7 day membership. Less for 6 or 5 day. Ladies have equal membership with men.

It plays a little longer than it’s 6100m due to the lush fairways but you also get very few poor lies. Definitely worth a visit or membership.

Great course, well maintained, challenging. Good facilities. Pity the toilet on hole 1 tee does not keep lights or soap and early in the morning there is no other toilet.

This course hasn’t been reviewed in a while. I have played here a bit over the last 6months and have found it to be a good test of golf. The current special for the open comp of $20 is very reasonable. The fairways and greens are in condition. However the 1st & 5th green have been redone after the storms in late 2007 and it is almost impossible for the ball to stay on the green! The staff are friendly and the clubhouse is nice. At over $1000 to join though, it is out of my price range.

Well played in the Tuesday comp there yesterday and yes there are remnants of all the work involving the Fairway watering around the course but that is too be expected and the course will be all the better for it. By Xmas time the course will be in great condition in my opinion.

That said it is a course that requires the player to get off the tee before they worry about anything else about their game, get just off the fairway into the treeline and bogey is a good score, happened to me a bit in the middle of my round yesterday. Some tricky greens too, hit to the wrong level and you are almost dead.

Will go back there again for sure.

Measures 6068m Par 71 from back ble plates now with 5 Par 3s ranging from 1503-197m, 9 Par 4s ranging from 320-420m and four Par 5s ranging from 455-510m.

Most holes have slight dogleg turns in them, and the course has a creek that meanders through the courseand comes into play on the first half dozen holes.

Par 5s here do not provide a challenge here and found myself on in regulation with even some careless hitting on the hole! Par 3s are testy, and par 4s are a little boring with a few doglegs but mostly with the same strategy.

Greens here were 2-paced but in FAIRLY good condition, the teebeds needed a trim in most cases and the fairways today was not that great, with many dirt mounds, that looked like GURS but were not. Preferred lies within 30cm, needed more than that.

Holes worthy of note -153m 2nd with 5 greenside bunkers with creek clearance, best bunkered hole on the course. Closing 3 holes index 1, 3 and 5 respectively) are a good challenge. But apart from that the back nine is unimaginative with bunkerless greens (11th, 12th, 14th, 16th) and linear lines of thought.

Played here 18/8/06 and paid $28 green fees which is not too bad value for such a course. May be back if inprovements are done, and will play at dawn as it can be frustratingly slow play by some members here.

In some places a challenging layout with somew interesting holes but could use more manicuring. Some of the tees and fairways are a bot dodgy and greens are not always true to read

I have just quit my membership of a year due to the totall rude and almost arrogant attitude of a lot of the staff (the older ones). Including both the clubhouse and admin. Even the bar staff have problems. It is a good course to play and is normally in good condition, but is hard to fully enjoy it knowing that such people are running it.

This course is extremely well kept with some of the best fairways I've played on. The greens are generally fast and accurate. Mainly flat and flanked with light woodlands this course demands accurate golf to score well.

17. azza | Rated | 25 Aug 2004 | Add A Review

Due to dry weather the course has suffered.

Damage by the Corella's has not helped.

Players need to be able to Draw and Fade the golf balls

Hitters of the ball for 200 to 240 metres will have no trouble making a acceptable score

Putting, the need for control on greens that are running fast but easily read if you have understanding of greens

Overall a challenging but manageable course if experienced.

Fairways are well above par decent on this course (divots come up a treat!) It's a well structured course which plays well at a nice pace.

An absolute delight to play on. Structure of the course is challenging for most golfer abilities. Fairways are keptn in immaculate condition and the greens are rather fast. A misjudgment in reading the green may see you off it!

20. bigmac21 | Rated | 31 Oct 2003 | Add A Review

The course is in magnificient order at present with the greens having been corred recently and now in top order, undulating and resonably quick. Fairways are excellent with a light rough and a few trees along the fairway rough have been felled, which is helpful! A must is your short game, up & down in regulation will give you a great score.

21. mandrake | Rated | 16 Jun 2003 | Add A Review

Top class course in fine condition. Something for golfers of all ability, you have to think your way around Ashlar if you want to score low. Only downside is popularity, be prepared to get held up. You wont get through 18 in close 4 hours.

22. andrew14966 | Rated | 28 Dec 2002 | Add A Review

Nice course in the west of Sydney that requires accuracy from the tee to score well. Some long par 3's will make keeping to par difficult. A good short (esp. chipping) a must around here.

Normally in reasonable condition, I'm sure you will enjoy the challenge.
